About this tour
Set sail from Heraklion and escape to Dia Island, an untouched, Natura-protected paradise where myth, nature, and serenity meet. 🏝️✨ This private cruise is your ticket to a full day of sun, sea, and unforgettable moments far away from the crowds.
Meet your friendly crew, hop aboard your comfortable sailing boat, and let the coastline drift slowly behind you as the adventure begins. On the way, you’ll hear the legend of Zeus and how the god of the sky shaped this magical island — a story that makes your arrival feel even more surreal. ⚡
Once anchored in Dia’s calm, turquoise bays, the day is yours:
Dive into crystal-clear water, snorkel over vibrant seabeds, paddleboard across peaceful coves, try out sea scooters, or simply float around in total bliss. Prefer the chill vibe? Stretch out on deck, sunbathe, sip something cold, and let the Aegean work its magic. 😎🌊
To keep you refreshed, enjoy seasonal fruits, soft drinks, and later a delicious Mediterranean lunch paired with fragrant local wine — the perfect taste of Crete. 🍉🍷
If you choose the sunset option, the day ends in pure dream mode: cruising back toward the Venetian harbour as the sky melts into fiery golds and soft purples. Romantic, peaceful, breathtaking — and absolutely unforgettable. 🌅✨
Sail away to Dia — where the sea is clearer, the moments sweeter, and the memories guaranteed.

Я провела незабутній день народження на яхті «Тритон» — і це було просто вау! 🌊⛵️
З перших хвилин відчувалася гарна атмосфера: привітний капітан, турботлива команда, настрій легкий і святковий. Ми купалися, насолоджувалися сонцем і навіть спробували SUP-борди (для цього на яхті є весь необхідний інвентар 🏄♀️✨
Окремий плюс — смачна їжа, напої та чудове обслуговування 👌
Погода подарувала ідеальний настрій, а море було просто неймовірним! 💙 💙
Цей день я запам’ятаю надовго! Щиро рекомендую яхту «Тритон» для свят, прогулянок і просто для тих моментів, коли хочеться подарувати собі справжню насолоду.

Booked a full day cruise to Dia Island. Had an amazing day the captain and crew were brilliant very helpful but also allowed us our privacy. Felt very comfortable especially as we were all female. Would recommend highly 😊

The boat was big and luxurious. There are huge mattresses on the deck of the boat that we could lie on during the trip! The crew were super friendly and the weather was great. If I had the chance, I’d love to book this trip again!
